USCA4 Appeal: 21-6696 Doc: 8 Filed: 02/22/2022 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Tommy Adams, Jr., appeals the district court’s text order denying his second motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), denying his motion for reconsideration of the denial of his first compassionate release motion, and denying his motion to appoint counsel. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Adams’ informal brief does not challenge the bases for the district court’s dispositions, he has forfeited appellate review of the district court’s order. See Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (“The informal brief is an important document; under Fourth Circuit rules, our review is limited to issues preserved in that brief.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
